Hey, was that you floating past the tree line?   Hey, was that a feather in your hand?   No, I don't mean to ask these questions   No, I don't mean to rush your heart   I swear I saw this accidentally   No, I don't mean to start      Hey, the rain falls straight into the sidewalk   Hey, the clouds hang heavy in the sky   But I don't want to still believe in   The gravity of solid ground   The world below is not so big   That it can keep us down      We are standing on the rooftops   We are circling like sparrows   We are tiny, we are trembling   Scared of everything   But the heart is still a redwing      Fly above the houses and the schoolyards   And fly until you cannot feel the Earth   No, I don't mean that it's so easy   And I don't mean that it's so small   But the world below is not so mean   That it can make us fall      We are standing on the rooftops   We are circling like sparrows   We are tiny, we are trembling   Scared of everything   But the heart is still a redwing
